It doesn’t get much hotter than the EGG cookin’ in July! Make sure to keep yourself hydrated with a bit of whatever you’re using for the Beer Can Chicken. Ice Cream Sandwiches are also a great way to stay cool. Looking for some great ideas for a summer cook out? Try out a Pimento Cheeseburger or Dr. BBQ’s Spare Rib Surprise. Just don’t be surprised if your neighbors stop by for a quick bite when they smell what you’re cooking!

Before you decide to spend big $$ on the great after-market raised grid tools for the BGE, invest in a weber grate the same size as your BGE cooking grate and then with one grate in the normal/lower position on the fire ring-down three canned beers of your choice (all the same sized cans). Take the empty cans and set them on the lower grate then place the other grate on the cans-you are now set-up for raised grid, direct cooking. Obviously there are other ways to get there-fire bricks etc.

I used fire brick (still do if I need the larger grid space). On Boxing Day, picked up this Grill Dome grid for <$15, 60% off at a local BBQ store. On my medium I cook for two, so has lots of space for a raised direct cook, with three legs is sits on the fire ring, and for pizza will straddle the setter.

I had an old 15" pizza stone, too big for my MBGE, so I cut it in half, added some notches and now have 1/2 of an indirect raised grid. The CI grate is used for reverse sear and all I remove is the Grill Dome extender grid.
